Does this equipment language removal help those on AAA at all? AAA doesn't approve a lot if things. So will they be forced to?
Thanks!

Ok gotcha!
So does the current statute allow elective equipment then? Or is it more vague?
Thank you!
The language was going to be prohibitive toward equipment in any electives. It was a sweeping statement that Equipment as Instructional Materials was only for the 4 core subjects. That's the language that will be stricken, which will open the possibility of equipment for electives back up and preserve the current status of the statutes and allow the purchasing guide to do what it was designated to do.
The current statutes will then continue to guide the purchasing process.
1002.395(6)(d)(2) a-h list what it can be used for, and state that, "The organization must verify that scholarship funds are used for:"
The SFO's obligation to the state is that they verify that the funds are used for those purposes outlined. It was about to add a sweeping prohibition for electives equipment, and now it will not.
